Peace In The Near Kant
Peace is finally declared as le
tween t he Turks ami the allies,
an,l a situation that seemed at
one siine to verjje on a world
cataclysm is averted. That is
one of the fruits of peace. The!
Turk is not driven out of j
hurope, as enlightened people
of the West had at least hoped.
He still retains a foothold by
the grace of European diploma
cy, but his power is reduced and
his influence in European af
fairs minimized. He may no
longer be the scourge to Chris
tian civilization that he has
been, and for that result, which
is another fruit of peace, the
world owes thanks to Bulgaria,
Greece, Serviu ami Montenegro.
In the lay sense, peace has
been declared upon conditions
which do not insure even
handed justice to the victorious
liai ticipants in th? war. Plucky
little Montenegro, which struck
the first blow, and many a sub
sequent one that counted much
for the discomfiture ami defeat
of the Turk; that single-handed
bravely contended for Scutari
until that stronghold fell, was
denied what the sense of com
mon fairness in men denotes to
be its due.
There is no doubt hut it was
the lingering spirit of absolu
tism, as manifested by Austria,
that at one and the same time
protected the Turk and cheated
the little kingdom of Monte
negro. It was a case of might
enforcing what might contended
to be politic, and in that justice
to the weak received very little
consideration.
It is also to be noted as peace
is declared that the old-time
prospect of .the formation of a
Balkan confederacy, and there
by the gradual development of
a new power in Europe, has
gone a-glimmering. Probably
the tempers of the allies them
selves was much to blame for
that; but it is fair to assume that
the spirit of mutual jealousy and
contention among them was
worked upon diplomatically
from the outside. At any rate,
the world is not to know what
confederated autonomy would
do for the people of the Balkan
Peninsula, for the net result of
the war is the circumscription
of the Turk. Telegram.
Peace In The Balkans
It is gratifying news from a
business standpoint that the war
between Turkey and the Bal
kans is finally ended and that a
peace treaty has been signed.
The Balkan war was an ex
pensive affair and it had much
to do with the stringency in the
money market. It is estimated
the war cost .1500,000,000 at the
least estimate. Furthermore
while the war was on there was
also a possibility of trouble that
would involve other nations.
The peace treaty and the virtual
withdrawal of Turkey from
Europe ends nil of this. It will
not be long until the strife be
tween Greece and Bulgaria will
be stopped and Mother Europe
will be able to occupy herself
with more useful work. The
benefits will be for this country
as well as for Europe. East

The barbarous- Turk has had
all the fighting he wants and
Europe is seemingly settling
down to peaceful pursuits, but
in Mexico it is different The
lighting still goes on ami the
thing least thought of with the
Mexican seems to be "peace."
They have been in insurrection
so long that the det-ire for slaugh
ter has apparently gained such
hold ifpon them that they have
little regard for life.
